I grew up in Oly and I wish I could move back. Great schools (I went to Pioneer, Washington MS & Oly High), but also very white/not diverse. No matter where you live, you’ll have to deal with traffic.

That was our first choice before we started doing research. Now we are more or less focused anywhere from Oly to Ruston along the water, or maybe in the isles towards Gig or Bremerton/Port Orchard. But heard those weren't as nice, and schools not as good. But the houses in Bremerton were definitely the most affordable and nicest in terms of greenery and views.
